I reckon that it clues us in that the movie has a bit more complexity than just a straightforward heist.

Is it just me or does the x wing pilot 1:57seconds in look very familiar?

Ok, not the person I thought it was. He looks like Rogue 2 from ESB. But that actor (Christopher Malcom) died in 2014 so it can't be him.

I'm not a huge fan of the latest trailer, but that may be because I have read [far too many] theories of the movie.

On top of this, I think that the trailer fell flat in it's aim to educate the casual fan when this movie takes place. Other than seeing Vader, and understanding that he only exists in this form from the end of Ep III through to Ep VI, there is nothing to identify the timeline. I think they could have taken care of this by starting the trailer in a retro fashion;

Voice Over: "In1977, we were told of the Rebel Spies that stole the plans to the Death Star.
This, is their story"
Screen shot of ANH crawl in the background.
Then start trailer.

My 2c.
